Short Rib Fried Rice
Short rib fried rice filled with tender pieces of Korean marinated short rib tossed with leftover rice, onions, and lots of garlic.
I made Korean flanken short ribs with garlic rice for a recent dinner and we had leftovers so I made this easy short rib fried recipe (also known as galbi fried rice). This tasty beef fried rice was quick to make and was so flavorful! My husband and I enjoyed this rice for lunch and thought it paired nicely with a spicy Asian cucumber salad.
